do something you’ve never done.

By the time I was twelve, I knew I wanted to be a traveler. Not a regional vacationer, but an around the world, “I’m onto my next passport” global citizen. Twelve must have been an important year, as I recall “knowing” a lot about myself then. At any rate, I wasn’t in the position to make such a desire reality.

Two and a half years ago, I made a big deal out of getting my passport. There was a sense of urgency, although I can’t recall why. Two and a half years later, that small ID booklet has served relatively no use for me. Until today.

After spending the weekend researching, I booked flights to Barcelona, Spain and Bologna, Italy. The picture above is supposed to be Barcelona. It looks like a vivid dream. In due time, I’ll let you know if it’s real.

Having finally taken the steps to realize this dream, I can’t help but to feel excited, anxious even. It’s as if I’m on the cusp of a very pivotal moment. I’m crossing the threshold, taking action to actualize my dreams.

The results of this tiny, yet major, step will only reveal itself in time, but I know the ramifications will be positive. So, attending my own lecture, I say to us: do something you’ve never done.

🙂 I intend to take an insane amount of pictures. But I may also need to just experience a lot through the two eyes I have and savor the memories. We’ll see what happens. Don’t be jealous! I know you can take these types of trips, too. Really, it’s just a decision.

totally, awesome. congrats. it’ll be some time before i can realize that traveling passion, but i’m up for doing what i haven’t done before. and also truly savoring what i can, where ever i can, even when its been done a thousand times:-) tryin’ to live in the present, leaving burdens of the past and not strangling my future with too much desire i end up missing the important moments and divine signals.

I am so happy for you! I just began my travels a few years ago andI have to save I’m a completely different person. I cried when I stood in front of the Mona Lisa. It hit me that I was in front of one of the world’s most famous pieces of art and became overwhelmed. I hope that you experience the same joy as I did.

By the way, your blog has become an essential part of my journey to peace. Thank you.
